This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect Personal Information through our websites, including chosan.com, and any related platforms, services, or communications (collectively, the “Services”).

We may collect Personal Information about you in two primary ways:
By providing Personal Information to us, you confirm that it is accurate, complete, and lawful for you to disclose. In situations where you offer references or third-party details, you represent that you have obtained any necessary consent to share such information. If you have questions about the types of Personal Information we collect—or if you wish to decline providing optional data—please contact us so that we may discuss potential implications for your use of certain features of our Services.
We will only use your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and any specific notices or disclosures provided at the time of collection. We may send administrative or account-related communications and, where lawful, promote our offerings. If you do not wish to receive marketing emails, you can opt out at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in the message or by contacting us directly.
In addition to direct services and communications, we use your information to support various operational functions, such as data analysis, audits, usage trend assessments, and research aimed at improving and personalizing our offerings. We also process Personal Information to meet legal requirements, respond to regulatory or governmental inquiries, and enforce our agreements and policies. Furthermore, we may detect, prevent, or address potential fraud or security risks by reviewing relevant data.
If we intend to use your Personal Information for purposes beyond those described here or disclosed at the time of collection, we will seek your consent or otherwise notify you as required by law. This may occur if we introduce new features or services that require additional data. By continuing to use our Services after receiving such notice, you acknowledge and agree to any updates governing our use of your Personal Information.
We do not sell your Personal Information. However, we may share it under certain circumstances or with your explicit consent, as detailed below. All third parties receiving Personal Information from us are required to handle it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws, ensuring your data remains protected and used only for legitimate purposes.
We may share Personal Information with third parties performing functions on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, marketing, and data storage. These parties operate under written agreements that strictly limit their use of your Personal Information to providing the requested services.
We may disclose Personal Information if required by law or in response to valid legal processes, such as subpoenas or court orders. We may also share data if necessary to protect our rights, ensure user or public safety, investigate potential fraud, or comply with governmental requests. Additionally, in the course of a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or a portion of our business or assets, your Personal Information may be transferred as a business asset.
If you expressly request or consent to the sharing of your Personal Information with a specific third party, we will proceed in accordance with your instructions.
Chosan Realty Inc. is the 'Data Controller' of your personal data. If you are located in a jurisdiction where specific legal bases are required for processing Personal Information (for instance, under the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation, or “GDPR”), we rely on one or more of the following:
Where the law mandates that we obtain your explicit consent, we will make that request clear and give you the option to withdraw such consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
Under the GDPR, you are entitled to exercise a range of rights with respect to your personal data, including the right of access to obtain confirmation as to whether your data is being processed and, if so, to access such data; the right to rectification to have any inaccurate or incomplete data corrected; the right to erasure (the “right to be forgotten”) to request deletion of your data, subject to applicable conditions; the right to restrict processing to request the limitation or suppression of your data; the right to data portability to receive your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and, where technically feasible, to have that data transmitted directly to another controller; the right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling; and the right to withdraw consent at any time if processing is based on such consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to its withdrawal. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
If you believe we have infringed your rights, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. However, we encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns.
We retain your Personal Information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. These purposes may include delivering our services, responding to inquiries, and facilitating relevant transactions. We also keep certain data to comply with legal or regulatory requirements—such as maintaining appropriate records for audits, abiding by anti–money laundering regulations, or preparing for potential legal disputes—and to enforce or defend our agreements. Where necessary, we may retain limited information for legitimate business interests, including historical recordkeeping, archiving, or other uses that do not unduly impact your rights.
Once the need for your Personal Information has passed, we either securely delete or anonymize it, unless we are required by law or regulation to retain it for a specified period. During the retention period, we implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data from unauthorized access or disclosure. If you have questions about how long your information will be retained or the circumstances under which it may be deleted or anonymized, please contact us for further details.
Some web browsers may transmit “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signals, which are intended to inform websites that you do not wish to be tracked. However, there is currently no universal industry standard or legal requirement dictating how organizations should respond to such signals. Consequently, we do not take specific action in response to DNT browser settings at this time.
Please be aware that other parties, such as third-party advertising networks or analytics providers, may continue to collect information even if you have enabled DNT in your browser. We do not control how these third parties respond to DNT signals, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy practices if you have concerns.
Our Services are intended for a general audience and are not directed at children under thirteen (13) years of age (or such other age as may be specified by local laws). In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and other applicable regulations, we do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose Personal Information from children under this age. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received Personal Information from a child in violation of COPPA or other applicable laws, we will promptly delete such information or, if deletion is not possible, take all necessary measures to safeguard or anonymize it.
If you are a parent or guardian who believes that we have collected Personal Information from your child without the necessary consent, please contact us, and we will investigate and address the matter in accordance with applicable legal requirements. We also encourage parents and guardians to educate children about online safety and the importance of safeguarding Personal Information.
We maintain (or, where applicable, rely on our third-party service providers to maintain) reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please be aware that no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be fully secure, and we cannot warrant or promise complete protection against the risks inherent in data processing.
We regularly evaluate our security measures and update them as necessary to address emerging threats and ensure compliance with relevant legal standards. In the event that you believe your interaction with our Services is no longer secure, or if you suspect a security breach has occurred, please contact us immediately. We will investigate any reported concerns and take all appropriate steps to mitigate potential harm.
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or other relevant considerations. When we update the Policy, we will adjust the “Last Updated” date at the top to indicate that revisions have been made. If the changes are substantial or materially affect your rights, we will provide additional notice, such as sending an email or posting a prominent announcement on our Website, either before or when the changes become effective. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about our data practices. Your continued use of our Services after any posted updates or notices will constitute your acknowledgment and acceptance of the revised terms.
If you access our Services from outside the United States, your Personal Information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in the United States or other jurisdictions whose data protection laws may differ from those in your country of residence. Where required by law, we implement appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure that such transfers remain lawful, secure, and consistent with applicable data protection standards.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your Personal Information, including the right to request access, rectification, or deletion; object to or restrict certain processing activities; obtain a copy of your data in a portable format; and, where applicable, withdraw your consent. If you wish to exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided in the “How to Contact Us” section. For your security and to prevent fraud, we will need to verify your identity when you submit a request to know, delete, or correct data. We may ask you to provide certain information that matches our records (such as confirming your email address or other details). If an authorized agent is making a request on your behalf, we will require written permission from you or other proof of authorization, and we will still verify your identity directly.
Our Services may include links to, or integrations with, websites, mobile applications, or other online platforms operated by third parties. These external platforms are independent entities, and we are not responsible for their content, security measures, or privacy practices. We encourage you to review each third party's privacy policy, terms of use, and other relevant legal documents before providing any Personal Information or otherwise engaging with their offerings. Any transactions, interactions, or data exchanges you undertake with such third parties are solely between you and those entities, and we disclaim liability for any harm resulting from your use of, or reliance upon, their websites or services.
Our Services may integrate or link to social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), allowing you to interact with these providers directly through our website. These features may collect information such as your IP address or the pages you visit and may set cookies or similar technologies to function properly. Your interactions with any social media platform are governed by that platform’s privacy policy, and we disclaim responsibility for how it handles your Personal Information.
We are committed to providing an inclusive experience for all individuals, including those with disabilities, and strive to make this Privacy Policy and our Services accessible in accordance with applicable legal requirements. If you require this Privacy Policy in an alternative format or encounter any barriers to accessing it, please contact us using the information provided above. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request, whether that involves supplying the document in a different format, facilitating the use of assistive technologies, or arranging any additional support necessary for full access to our Services.
By using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this Privacy Policy.
